How a Spanning Tree Works
sponsored by Global Knowledge
WHITE PAPER:
The way a switch learns Ethernet (MAC) addresses is by inspecting the Ethernet frame and recording the source MAC address in a dynamic table. The switch will also associate a learned MAC address with a port. It can then make intelligent forwarding decisions based on the destination MAC address. This white paper illustrates the process.

ETHERNET NETWORKS DEFINITION (continued): … wide area network (WAN) or to the Internet. Corporations, academic institutions and government agencies in large cities can use Metro Ethernet to connect branch campuses or offices to an intranet. A typical Metro Ethernet system has a starnetwork or mesh network topology with individual routers or servers interconnected through cable or fiber optic media."Pure" Ethernet technology in the MAN environment is relatively inexpensive compared with Synchronous Digital Hierarchy (SDH) or Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) systems of similar bandwidth. However, the latter technologies can … Ethernet Networks definition sponsored by SearchTelecom.com, powered by WhatIs.com an online computer dictionary
